Unlike some of the other girls I Loved Henley! I observed a fourth grade class. My teacher was so well organized. She has been teaching for over 10 years. She showed me her lesson plans and showed me how to do them. I think I learned more in the first 30 minutes of the day than all of my previous visits. I cant wait to go back.
The kids where not as affectionate as the children at Harrison but that might have something to do with their age. They were so well behaved, the teacher barely had to redirect them throughout the day. They went home around 11 for lunch to get changed for the Halloween festivities. Only 1 student was absent, not sure if it was because of the holiday or illness. When the children arrived back from lunch, they were dressed in very creative costumes. There were 3 room moms who helped throughout the afternoon. The children started the festivities with a parade that their parents observed. When they returned to the class the moms had a creative task for them to complete.(assembling a Halloween photo frame) After they played a game of guess the gross stuff in the box. They loved it. Then they were let loose on the snack table. There were cookies, fruit, veggies, fruit juices, water, chips, pretzels, and yes candy. The kids ate a little of all. I was surprised at the freedom they had with the sweets. Not like my children's school at all. (I hope I didn't get anyone in trouble, I know what the state policy is...) Overall I believe the children had a wonderful time.
The assembly also went well. It was about Halloween safety and bullying. Some of the children performed skits on some Halloween rules. I was not a long assembly but I think it got the point across.
